Where did Your Screen Name come from....

[homeless]

Many years ago when I retired from the military I sold my house, put everything in storage, and went riding for a year to search for a new place to live. So during that year I was "homeless". Some friends I rode with occasionally gave me the name. I liked it and it has stuck with me since.

 

[Rosy]

Cute story Rosy.

Lady ff 1481=lady firefighter and the fire truck I was assigned to was 1481

What's great! I knew about the ff, but never knew about the truck, WOW!
Hey, did you get your pull backs installed yet? Or are you waiting till spring?
See you in August, we hope. How is Jim doing? I hope the holidays were good to both of you!

I was a Sheet Metal Worker in shipbuilding prior to my accident and change of career. Hence, Tinbasher.

That's great Tinbasher! Here in the state we call them tinknockers. So, what are you doing now or are you retired like most of us are?
How is the weather Gods treating you lately, we are going to get about 4" of snow Wednesday and Thursday, but could go up to 6". Hey, weather persons are 75% wrong most of the time and get paid 6 figures!
Have a great day!

[Bigun]

Well if you look at my profile photo you will no why my club calls me Bigun

 

[coolpoolken]

My name is Ken and I live in Cold Lake. Cold Lake is sometimes refered to as the "cool pool" hence I combined the two to form my name on sites I visit....Ken Oh yeh, the lake is darned cold, but the Lake Trout love it!!

 

[lasso]

Grew up riding horses and bikes, buddies started calling me "Lasso". Once I became a Shriner clown, my outfit is a cowboy clown. My kids named me "Lasso". All my biker acquaintances picked it up, and there it went.

 

[FrostBite]

Unexpected cold snap while on a trip to the midwest. 17* at 80 mph earned the name.

 

[flatfrog]

used to have a habbit of contributing to the road-kill count
the "road-Kill" name was taken.
since much of the road kill was flattened frogs, Flatfrog became the choice.

 

[ebiss9]

I've had this name forever but when we were kids, 4 brothers, and thoroughly set on irritating each other to death, one of the unexpected torments was the now infamous titty twister. While performing this act of torture we used to say "eeeebissss". The 9 was because 1 through 8 was taken, go figure. Anyway it just stuck in my head. I wish other things would stick like that i.e.: my name, where I live etc. But when my sister was born we were forced to act more like gentlemen and less like wild animals. Guess the fun had to come to an end sometime.......

 

[Angelbymyside]

In July, 2008, I was in a very bad motorcycle accident. I was riding my 2004 Goldwing trike on I-40 in Nashville, Tenn. There were four of us, (3 trikes and a bike), on our way to Wing Ding in South Carolina. A car rear-ended a pick-up truck which then swerved to the left into my lane. I was going about 55 mph when the trike and I litterly "T-Boned" the truck. Stubborn me, I held on while the trike rode up the truck door, went air borne upside down and then of course, gravity made me turn loose. This can end up being a very long story, so I will save the details to tell at the rally in Eureka Springs this summer, (if anyone is interested). But, I will say this, the police did not open I-40 for several hours. They told my husband that they had to wait until they heard back from the hospital, as to whether or not to treat the scene as fatality. As my grand daughter said when she saw me, "Grandma, Jesus really loves you!!" Soooo, there's my screen name--I had an Angel by my side.

 

[icedad]

My 2 sons actually nicknamed me. I used to a lot of ice fishing up north when I lived there. Hence, icedad was created.

Thank you for sharing that story. WOW, you're a blessing to be with us!

Unencumbered by knowledge and experience, my current plan is Bluetooth headsets for communications. The, I will mount the Garmin from my car on a ram- mount bracket. I really am not that concerned about vibration using the ram-mount. As for rain, most of the rain comes with the vehicle moving. The faring windscreen will help keep it dry. I will only use the GPS on one vehicle at a time, so why buy another GPS? How's that for the ultimate cheap GPS!

I'm confused. Either I don't quite understand the derivation of dadorfman's screen name (as in the title of this thread) OR I need some of whatever he's smoking... :Shrug:
